I've written a novel. Imagine that Harry Potter* had a vocation to celibacy and instead of wizards and magic, he relied on monks, relics, and advice from the Pope? Sound interesting?
My new novel on Saint George is a historical fiction novel that presents the historical Saint George at the end of the third century as the Roman persecution of Diocletian is ramping it up. Along the way the young George meets up and receives counsel from other saints of that era, such as Saint Christopher, a young Saint Nicholas, Saint Blaise, Saint Erasmus, and Pope Marcellinus. Yes, the novel even has bilocating saints in it!
The book begins with the orphaned George making a pilgrimage to Rome and ends with a new twist on George slaying the dragon - but I don't want to give it all away.
...I don't have an agent or a publisher. If you know of anybody, please pass this post along. I'd love to get this book into the right hands.
Godspeed,
Taylor Marshall
* I'm not a fan of Harry Potter. The "Harry Potter" comparison is just a "hook," since few today know who Saint George really is. This novel and its narrative have absolutely nothing to do with Harry Potter. However, both books are about young men learning about the supernatural. In Potter it's the occult. In my novel it's Catholic piety. In sum, it's the anti-Potter.
